This item does what it says it does but I think that there are some aspects that could have made it much better. You use the app to connect via bluetooth and it connects easy, as well as the instructions being easy to understand. The music quality is good and the volume buttons on the device is nice. A lot of my problems with it actually have to do with the app. First, there is something called one touch which can be used to go directly to your playlists. However, it is only available in the native app on my iPhone. I don't use the Apple library for most of my music and so this feature is of no use to me. It would be great if I could choose any music app on my phone for this feature. Second, I also dislike that there is no widget for the app. Third, within the app I cannot control the music that is playing. If I want to lower or increase the volume and choose to do it through the app I can do that. But if I want to pause or skip to a different song by using my phone I have to go into the music app I use. While this may not be a huge deal to some people, I prefer to be able to control the music from within the same app. Overall, a good item but it could be so much better if the app was better.

I really do like this item. The only problem I had with this item during setup was when I had to have the device scan the QR code on my phone. After I tried it a few times it worked, though. All the setup is done through the app, and it is pretty simple. Attaching the sensors to the doors was easy and the instructions were clear and concise. After I had it all set up I put the app on the phones of two other people who live in my house and that worked well also.
When the system is in home mode and the camera is on it will notify me each time it detects movement. After a few days I turned off the camera if someone was home and then only turned it back on at night. Otherwise I was getting notifications to my phone every 1-2 minutes that it had detected movement, which was horribly annoying. It also notifies you every time someone opens a door or window. The notifications work well and I have had no problems with them.
When the camera is on it works very well also. I had the camera on while I was out of the house and every time my dog jumped off the couch to go to the window or moved to a different room the system notified me. The system sends an alert that there was movement detected and gives you the option in the app to watch a 30 second video of what triggered the alert. When the camera is on there is also the option to view the live feed. This is interesting and helpful but not absolutely necessary, which is good because sometimes I cannot get the live feed to work. Everything else works, though. When viewing the live feed you can also talk and be heard through the system. I did this while out of the house so I am not sure if the voice was actually my voice or just an automated voice. Either way, my dog heard me and came over to the system to try to figure out what was happening.
I really do like the system and while it becomes annoying when the camera is on, all the rest of it is great. When I got this I actually wasn't expecting it to be this good. While it is only for inside the house you can buy other things to add on to the system for outside use, which I may do in the future. When I set up the system I set it up so that the camera can view all three of the doors in which someone can enter the house.
Someone might even say that the system is too sensitive in some cases. Everyone was in the backyard, including my dog, when I got a message that there was movement in the house. I checked out the video and it turns out that there was some intense sun glare that appeared on a wall in my living room and the system thought that was enough of a change to warrant a notification.

Normally, I don't give any product 5 stars because there always seems to be something that can be improved on or an issue I had with the product. However, this product really is worth 5 stars. It was easy to setup and it just works. It is exceptionally easy to print from my MacBook or my iPhone. There is no software to download for a Mac or iPhone. Instead, you just use AirPrint. I don't print a bunch of stuff each week or month so I expect the ink will last for a long time. The instructions were really easy to follow and it took me maybe ten minutes to get everything set up. I definitely recommend this product.

I was actually very surprised how well this item works. I used it on my living room and it got rid of most of the carpet stains. I have a toddler and an infant in the house so spills happen periodically. I had been thinking of having a professional come out to clean the living room carpet. Instead I tried this and it worked great. It is easy to put together, as well. The main problem I had is that there is a part where the dirty water goes and then you have to dump that. It was EXTREMELY hard to get open the first time. In fact, I thought I was doing it wrong because it was that hard to get open. But I looked at the manual and I was doing it right. Eventually I did get it open, though. I found that I went through a large part of the cleaning solution very fast. I did my living room and part of the hallway and it went through all of the cleaning solution I put in it. The other issue is that it is REALLY difficult to push for a long time. I don't have a lot of upper body strength and it is definitely much harder to push than even a heavy vacuum cleaner. However, overall it is still worth the purchase since it works really well.

NordVPN is a virtual private network (VPN) – an online security tool that routes your internet traffic through a secure tunnel, changing your virtual location in the process. But NordVPN does more than just that — it comes equipped with powerful features against common online threats.

I really do like this VPN. I have only ever used a few VPN products before and this one ranks at the top. Getting it on my phone, tablet, and computer was easy. I think you can put this product on up to 6 devices. My only issue with the product is that any time I lock my phone the VPN disconnects. And after I unlock my phone it can take a little while for the VPN to connect again. However, my phone has been acting a bit odd lately and so it may just be my phone that is the problem. On my computer I had to click on it a few times before it would connect but overall it is a good product and I recommend it.

Philips Avance Collection Airfryer XXL, Twin TurboStar with Fat Removal Technology- Fry healthy with up to 90% less fat
Posted by: Cas25
from Des Moines, IA, USA
This is a good item and I do like using it. The first thing I made with the air fryer was thick french fries. The cook time is kind of a guessing game at first. The booklet it comes with does give you a range of time in which it should cook based on how many ounces of the item you are cooking. The fries came out really crispy and the major lack of grease was great. It wasn't difficult to put together and it was easy to clean.

Return to simplicity with this Lenovo all-in-one desktop computer. It has an Intel Core i7 processor that blazes through various tasks, and there's 1TB of storage within its slim 23.8-inch screen, so you don't need a tower. With 8GB of RAM, this Lenovo all-in-one desktop handles multiple applications like a charm.

This is a good computer that was easy to set up. My first problem with it, though, is that it came with absolutely no written information about the computer. I also dislike that it does not have a DVD drive. However, I just connected an external DVD drive. On the plus side the wireless mouse and keyboard connected very easily. I also connected this to a second computer screen and that was very easy as well. It comes with 30 days of McAfee and 30 days of Microsoft Office, which is pretty standard. The computer runs pretty fast and there is plenty of space. I have experienced no lag so far. There is not a lot of USB ports, which I also consider a problem. I do not plug my phone or tablet into the computer because there is only 3 USB ports. I do appreciate the HDMI port, though. Overall, a good computer but nothing really stands out about it that would take it from a good computer to a great computer.

I do like this item and it is definitely better than I expected. The pictures come out looking pretty much exactly like they do on my phone. It connected easily to my phone via bluetooth. I had two problems during setup, however, which is why I gave it 4 stars. First, it does not tell you the name of the app you need to download so I downloaded the wrong app the first time. Second, the directions were not exactly clear about how to open the item to load the printer paper. It didn't take too long to figure out but still I wish the directions were more clear. Overall, though, it is a good item that I would recommend to others.

Okay Product But Nothing Special

These headphones stay in well and are comfortable for awhile but not as comfortable as some other products like this.The sound is good and the bluetooth range is pretty good. Again, not great but also not bad. It connected easily to my Android phone and stayed connected. Sometimes one of the headphones will become disconnected for some reason but the other headphone keeps working. Otherwise, it works well enough.

The bluetooth range on this product is not great but it is adequate. They are also very comfortable and the battery lasts for quite awhile. They connected easily to my iPhone, as well. The sound is pretty good. The one major problem I had with this product is that if my phone was in my back pocket this product would easily cause my music on my iPhone to stop playing for some reason. However, this only happened when I was outside.
